I just searched the FFFs for the keyword 'mods', and found a few numbers in FFF 372 and 391 -> https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-372 and https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-391


In 2022, there were:
638,886 players who downloaded 41,244,805* mods.


and


In 2023 we had:
676 651 ...

The thing is, I would have guessed about 20 to 30 percent of players use mods, so I'd land on the other end of ChatGPT.

Why 20 to 30 percent?

Because I believe, if you'd ask in this forum or in r/factorio how many people modded their game at some time you'd end up with 80 to 90 percent of people ...

Tertius, thanks for asking Copilot, but yeah, I'm not so sure on what its estimation is based. Without a clear reasoning behind it this just feels like guess work.

And good thinking, I also checked the numbers for the Alien Biomes mod (you can see the download numbers for the individual versions on ...

Hi,

I'm just curious about this, because this came up in a discussion about the percentage of steam achievements, where someone noted that apparently only 1.9% of players have 'won' SpaceAge by reaching the solar system edge, and another replied that probably many players use mods and disable ...

Yup, happens here, too. OpenSuse Tumbleweed (openSUSE 20210111), starting a new game or loading an existing one crashes the game.

Somewhere in my mind I knew it needed Bob's yet I absolutely wanted to know if there was a way to do without.


Oh, of course. I think your idea about the mods is correct, they probably should work standalone. My answer was totally disregarding the option of Angels-only because I always ...

Second, I can't research Advanced Steel Smelting 2. It says that prerequisites (Advanced Steel Smelting 1) aren't met while they are. If I use a console command to force unlock it, the same thing happens to Advanced Steel Smelting 3. I do have Coolant 1 unlocked but can't research Steel 3 ...

Santa, would it be possible to add a mod setting for BioProcessing that enables/disables the changes it makes in regards to modules? I like the arboretums, and I might want to look into other Bio chains (like plastic) later, but the Bio chains for crystals (modules) are pretty involved. It would be ...

It seems really jarring to have yellow at the highest tier.

(And back to lurking.)

i 'think' this code would actually work for you as 'handcrafting' and 'crafting' or nil is not the same
in this case you would need to force yourself to not use this receipt any more as soon as you have circ1 automation possible

nevertheless.. this is pure challange if you remove handcrafting ...

I just looked into it with FNEI, and it seems I'd need a "Chipshooter machine MK1", and then several other machines for different ingredients. Ok, handcrafting it is, then.

Thanks!

Hi, after several AngelBob-bases I intend to start my first Py playthrough with all mods except AlienLife. I usually play Factorio with a small selfmade mod that disables handcrafting and just adds an assembler and the necessary items for the first energy source to the player at start (I just like ...

Bob, just wanted to thank you for the mods and your continued support! Had lots of fun with them already, your work really brings Factorio to another level!

That's awesome news! Thanks a lot to Angel and all you other guys for creating and updating the mods!
